Per the Elias Sports Bureau, the Packers are the second-youngest team to make the playoffs over the last 45 seasons behind only…last year’s Packers team.

Gotta love beating your own record!
See we were all right! This is easy to do…fire LaFleur!

Will we be the youngest Super Bowl winning team too?
I’m really sick of this narrative.
and we increased our regular season record by 2 wins. This year has been a great success and everything you want out of a young team that literally just rebuilt last year. Excited for these playoffs no matter what they bring.
Definitely a reason to chill/relax. I am hoping they think about their gameplan in order to feel optimistic they win this postseason, but at least I know they are still trying.
I’ll try to keep that in mind while they’re getting destroyed on Sunday.
This is why everyone needs to R-E-L-A-X
Ah shit man we’re getting old
I’ve been saying this all week. This season is a success no matter what happens the rest of the way. The youth combined with excellent cap situation heading into next season should have all of us feeling optimistic.
Oh I thought we were younger *this* year
Amen, and keep these posts coming. This fan base is f’ing toxic sometimes. There’s a difference between wanting to see improvement and melting down the second that things aren’t absolutely perfect. “It’s BS to call people haters because they think this team is dogshit” yeah, well, it’s BS to call those of us who see a rational and positive narrative naive because of your fundamental unhappiness, so I guess we’re at an impasse..

Impossible. I was told this has been a disappointing two years.
It’s not unfair to say that this season feels like a regression. If we lose to Philly then we went further as a younger team. That’s a fair criticism. You’d like to trend in the right direction, but we’ve had injuries and guys not taking the next step in their play level.
With two open roster slots, let’s shoot for the record!
(I haven’t bothered to compare the actual ages and whether this is even feasible)
Dear God how many times do we have to bring this up.
How do you know someone drives a Tesla? They tell you every 30 seconds
The eagles are only 5 months older than us and a hell of a lot better
I thought this year’s team was actually younger than last year’s? Maybe that was just for initial rosters.
we lost jones and preston and didn’t add anyone older. so what gives.
crazy how the eagles vikings and lions are all months older than are team and in much better positions
It’s a great excuse for losing year in and year out.
We are getting older boys
I thought they were actually younger on avg this year
Found the stats elsewhere on the Internet:
“Per the Elias Sports Bureau, the Packers are the second-youngest team (25.72) by weighted age to make the playoffs over the last 45 seasons (1980-2024), behind the 2023 Packers (25.58).”
I suspect 33-year old McManus gets the blame for this (but he’s made up for it by kicking well.)
(.72-.58)*53 = 7.42. Carson was 25 last year so that’s 8 years right there. (I assumed this is calculated over 53 players; I’m guessing at a lot)
Also not sure what a ‘weighted age’ is.
